Introducing Buzz Scores and Sentiment Ratings
Ownership is extremely important in daily fantasy sports. That’s why we’re excited to bring two new metrics from FanShare Sports into our NFL Models: Buzz Score and Sentiment Rating!
- Buzz Score measures how much each player is being talked about across the fantasy industry.
- Sentiment Rating helps sort through that buzz to distinguish the positive from the negative.

Freedman’s QB, RB, WR + TE Breakdowns
Matthew Freedman highlights the top cash-game and GPP value plays in his comprehensive breakdowns of each position:
- Quarterbacks: It turns out Deshaun Watson is now pronounced “Dechalk” Watson. Freedman details Watson’s Week 5 outlook in the full QB Breakdown.
- Running Backs: With a better offensive line and a coordinator who leans on the run, it’s no wonder that Dalvin Cook is having a breakout season. See why Freedman likes Cook in the full RB Breakdown.
- Wide Receivers: There’s no way to spin this — DeAndre Hopkins has magnificently disappointed this season. Freedman explains whether this will be the week Nuk breaks out in the full WR Breakdown.
- Tight Ends: Freedman has been low on Austin Hooper, but now he’s the No. 2 fantasy TE. Find out how Freedman is evaluating Hooper now in the full TE Breakdown.
